The American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA) presents Kukuli Velarde: Plunder Me, Baby, through Jan. 28, 2018.

This exhibition is part of the Gettyled Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a farreaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles. This the first West Coast exhibition by the U.S.-based Peruvian artist Kukuli Velarde, who was born in Cusco in 1962 and moved to the U.S. in 1988.

The Plunder Me, Baby ceramic sculptures present personal and sometimes confrontational ceramic sculptures based on the traditional forms and surface decorations of Pre- Columbian ceramics but include the artist’s own image and reference her indigenous ancestry.

Sculptures from her Isichapuitu series will also be included in the exhibition. The Isichapuitu figures were inspired by a Mexican statue from the Rockefeller Collection at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

American Museum of Ceramic Art is located at 399 North Garey Ave., Pomona, CA 91767. For more information, please call (909) 865-3146 or visitwww.amoca.org.
